@eneashpirti Hi, here are steps for fusing: 400 degrees/hr to 1250 and hold an hour, FULL to 1470 and hold zero minutes, FULL to 900 and hold an hour, 100 degrees/hr to 700 and hold zero minutes, and turn off.

Here are steps for slumping: 300 degrees/hr to 1280 and hold about 35 minutes (watch it to make sure it slumps just the right amount), FULL to 900 and hold an hour, 100 deg./hr to 700, off.

Love them! Do you use a potters kiln or a glass kiln? If a potters kiln what cone do you fire to on the fuse and what do you fire to on the slump? I have always wanted to try it and would be very thankful for your help. Thank you

@911no Thanks! The kiln is a Paragon Janice 27. It is multipurpose glass and ceramic.

This is my firing schedule for fusing: 400 degrees/hr to 1250 and hold an hour, FULL to 1470 and hold zero minutes, FULL to 900 and hold an hour, 100 degrees/hr to 700 and hold zero minutes, and turn off.

This is my firing schedule for slumping: 300 degrees/hr to 1280 and hold about 35 minutes (watch it to make sure it slumps just the right amount), FULL to 900 and hold an hour, 100 deg./hr to 700, off.

@911no I think you can use a ceramic kiln for glass fusing. Warmglass forums have good info about it. I went to the forums at warmglass . com (there's a space around the ". com" because youtube isn't allowing the ".com") and searched for "ceramic kiln slump glass" and some good posts came back about it.

My firing schedules are based on Bullseye Glass Co. recommendations (bullseyeglass . com then click on the Education tab, then "Tech Notes 4: heat and glass"). It's a good little article.
